BEinGrid Project Data Sheet
• Type of project: Integrated Project• Project coordinator: Mr. Santi Ristol
[email protected] (ATOS ORIGIN)
• Project start date: 1st June 2006• Duration: 42 months (Nov 2008)• Budget: 24.7 M Euros • Max EC contribution: 15.7 M Euros (63%)
• Consortium: 75 partners • Effort: 2713 PM (226 PY,65 P,360.000h)
The mission of BEINGRID is to Exploit European Grid middleware by creating a toolset repository of Grid services from across the Grid research domain and to use these services to deliver a set of successful business experiments that stimulate the early adoption of Grid technologies across the European Union.
Business Experiments in GRID3
BEinGrid at a glance
• 18 Business experiences (first wave)– Service Provider + Integrator + End User
– 12 different sectors : retailing, architecture, textile, finance, …
– Second wave: 5/6 more will start in 2008 (based on open call)
• Cross activities– Technical “clusters” (security, portals, VO, SLA, …)
– Business
• Repository– Documents (designs, howtos, success stories, …)
– Software (generic components)
Real world!

SLA Cluster
Business Experiments in GRID5
The SLA ClusterGeneral Presentation
• The Service Level Agreement Cluster considers the typical SLA lifecycle: – Stage 1: Development of a service and creation of SLA templates for this service– Stage 2: Discovery and negotiation of an SLA– Stage 3: Service provisioning and deployment– Stage 4: Execution of the service– Stage 5: Assessment and corrective actions (when necessary)– Stage 6: Decommission of the service
• 8 out of 18 Biz Experiments have expressed interest in the SLA Cluster– BE08, BE10, BE16 are the most relevant with clear SLA utilisation
• Aim of the cluster: – Discover requirements, – Sort by importance, – Produce design patterns PENDING– Produce generic components PENDING

Business Experiments in GRID6
The SLA ClusterThe initial topics and BEs
• T1: SLA Template Guidance to the write-up of the SLA template offered by providers: how-tos, skeleton, GUI, traps to avoid. Medium
• T2: Publication and Discovery Mechanism to allow an efficient management of distributed resources is proposed (good-use rules, to facilitate the work of a matcher). Low
• T3: Negotiation Tools easing the negotiation (bargain) of an SLA Medium• T4: Optimisation of Resource Selection Selection of the most suitable host (to deploy and execute a
service), optimise a predefined measure of system efficiency. Medium• T5: Monitoring SLA Monitor system that checks the status of the SLA is proposed High• T6: Re-negotiation Changing an already accepted SLA. Novelty is the existence of a previous contract
providing initial values, and possibly running jobs (migration). Low• T7: Evaluation Comparing predicting all the terms of the agreed SLA with the current situation (gained
through monitoring), to discover potential violations to the agreement. High• T8: Accounting Calculate the price for a given service (related to the SLA-metrics) Low

Business Experiments in GRID11
2nd wave of experiments… and opportunity for collaboration
There will be an open call to establish a set of 5-6 new Business Experiments- The new BE should last round 12-14 month maximum.- Available 330K€ (approx) funding per experiment- The BE must be based on semi-mature technology, include the full value chain (End-
User, Integrator and Service Provider) and present a preliminary business plan- Open call text available after this summer, new BE start in Jan/Feb 2008
Business Experiments in GRID12
BEinGrid 8 main objectives
• To study and gather the requirements for the commercial Grid environment, evaluating current and proposing new business models considering aspects
• To design and build a Grid toolset repository based on different Grid foundation middleware (Globus Toolkit v4, Unicore/GS, gLite, WSRF.NET, GRIA and open Axis plus WS-* standards)
• To enable and validate the adoption of Grid technologies in industry and services, addressing in particular small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs).
• To realize a critical mass of business experiments (Grid-enabled pilots) embracing a broad spectrum of economic sectors
• To produce a set of successful case studies as a result of putting into practice the real-world pilots and to report the best-practice guidelines of Grid pilot experiences.
• To contribute to making the NGG transparently usable, persistent and scalable up to global pervasiveness,
• Identify further generic components out of the Business Experiments to complete the available solutions and integrate them into the repository.
• For the second phase of the business experiments, to provide through the repository, a mechanism for current research projects in the Grid domain a platform to provide their software and components to a wide community.
